One of the ways in which players have been able to enjoy poker during this time is in the form of some new competitions that have been set up by some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.moneypokersites.com\/review\/\">leading poker sites<\/a> available on the net.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, one of the biggest poker sites has created an online\ncompetition that players in the United States will be able to take advantage\nof. The competition will begin on the 24<sup>th<\/sup> July, and is called \u2018The\nVenom\u2019. The event will run until the 7<sup>th<\/sup> August, and best yet, there\nis a huge prize pot up for grabs for players that are involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"huge-prize-fund-in-americas-cardroom-the-venom\">Huge Prize Fund In Americas Cardroom \u2018The Venom\u2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The competition will be one of the most lucrative available\nto American gamblers when it begins in just over two months time. There is a\nhuge prize fund of $7 million up for grabs in guaranteed prize money for\nplayers. Furthermore, there will be multiple Day 1 offerings for the players,\nwith winners of \u2018The Venom\u2019 taking home at least $1 million in winnings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, entry into the competition will not be on the cheap\nside, with players having to fork out $2,650 for a buy-in. Regardless, the\nbuy-in will be worth the price. Should players be looking for another way into\nthe competition then there will be a variety of different events on going that\nplayers will be able to win their ticket for The Venom. These events will be available\nfor gamblers to see on the Americas Cardroom website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are nine different Cyclone events available for\nplayers to get involved in, with entries for these ranging from $0.1 all the\nway to $850. Should you be looking for a different event, then you will also be\nin luck as there is also Sit &amp; Go and Step tournaments available for\nplayers to earn their ticket for the major event that takes place on the 27<sup>th<\/sup>\nJuly. These competition buy-ins will be the same as the Cyclone events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"christian-jeppsson-wins-first-wpt-online-event\">Christian Jeppsson Wins First WPT Online Event<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In other competition news, Christian Jeppsson will be\ncelebrating this week as he won the World Poker Tour main event online. The\nSwedish player was in fine form as he outlasted&nbsp;\n2,130 other players to win the $3,200 buy-in WPT Online. It was an\nexcellent performance, as the Swede walked away with a place in the history\nbooks as well as a prize fund of $923,786.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He was able to see off Viktor Ustinov in the heads up game. There was only set to be a prize fund of $5 million but that rose to $6.39 million after the number of entries exceeded expectations. The top 312 players all got a piece of the pie, with some of the biggest poker stars competing in the final stages. Among those were Ema Zajmovic and Martin Jacobson, who finished 25<sup>th<\/sup> and 23<sup>rd<\/sup> respectively. Also, Benny Glaser and Dmitry Yurasov went deep in the competition as they finished eleventh and ninth respectively. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gamblers around the world have needed to become more involved in online play at present due to the lockdown measures in place around the world.
